Ok I really want to try this. I don't know where to start on what to buy. I'm trying to stay away from any animal products: dairy,meat,eggs,etc. but I really don't know what I should buy that will last more then a week, taste good and be filling. I'm online googling what to shop for but it's almost no help.

Oh well I won't be much help then! I'm not a vegan so I do eat dairy. Lots of yogurt, while grain cereals, I'll put cheese on just about anything lol. Beans and peanut butter for protein. Potatoes. Pastas.

I'm vegetarian but I don't drink milk because I'm lactose intolerant. I agree with PP pasta and beans are my usual main dish but I try to make them in a variety of ways. I make a lot of Mexican food like tacos with potatoes instead of meat or bean tostadas. Also if you buy a block of tofu and freeze it so when it defrosts all of the moisture comes out ( usually about 4 hours) it has a thick meat like consistency and you can use it to make anything, or you can just buy the baked tofu it already has that consistency without the extra work ( trader joes brand is my favorite) hope this helps, good luck!

I am a vegetarian so I take dairy ... But my DH is allergic to milk so he takes everythin made of soy milk or coconut milk.... Apart from dairy products we use Lentils , green leafy vegetables, root veggies and lot of different types of veggies which u generally get in Indian or Asian supermarkets. They have more than 10 different variety of lentils so that also helps. There is a website called chefinyou which have some delicious vegan , protein rich and Lentils recipes ... Hope this helps

You can't be a vegetarian and not go shopping at least once a week. It just wont work. I make about three trips a week for fresh fruit, veggies and stuff for smoothies.

You want a good vegetarian vitamin and to make sure you are getting enough protein. You do this with beans, letils and leafy veggies. Don't let anyone tell you you aren't getting enough this way. You don't break down all the protein in meat anyways.

Going vegan is hard so take that really slow. Read as much as you can. Check out half priced books.

I gained 32lbs so far and probably not much more because I can go into labor any day now. That being said, I didn't eat as healthy as I should of. Lots of crabs.

I make sure to have dry beans at all times. A slow cocker is good for cooking them. Freeze them in cup portions if you like. Frozen "meats" like morning star or bocu for those days when you just don't feel like cooking. Apple sauce if you bake and don't want to use eggs. Coconut milk if you don't want to drink milk. Good cooking oils like coconut and olive oil. Ummm... sure there is more if I think of any.

The reason why I'm trying to do this is bcuz I've gained too much weight and my dr is concerned about me gaining so much weight. He said it wouldn't be such a bad thing if I lost a few pounds and I know this is a great healthy way to do it. And as it is we go shopping several times a week for food so it shouldn't be a big deal. I have a trader joes here in town but it's about 20 miles away, what's must have from trader joes that you can't buy like at Walmart?

I've gained 16lbs as of my last week appt but have one today so I'm sure it's gone up a little. I usually stock up on vegetables( potatoes, carrots, spinach , eggplant, onions and garlic) black beans, corn tortillas, salsa and baked tofu. For quick snacks my favorite thing is morning star meatless buffalo wings they are SO good or trader joes veggie nuggets.

You can't do your full shopping at Trader Joes anyways. They don't have a large selection. At least not here in PA. Their coconut oil is organic and only $5.99. Peanut butter is also very cheap there. Organic pasta, flour, coconut milk all better quality then Walmart brands. I think their produce last longer, but probably not worth the trip twice a week for.

I'm close to a vegan (I eat egg whites, wild salmon & organic chicken) & it takes a long time to put together an eating formula that works for you. So, as other people said, take it slow. Great protein sources are quinoa, Cous Cous & chickpeas. Garden burgers are great but be careful with processed soy, they are pretty filled with chemicals. I highly suggest reading the book "Skinny *****" or "Skinny *****, Bun in the Oven." amazing reads and soooo informative on nutrition.

I have issues with Walmart so I am bias, haha. But their produce never last more then a two days it seems. I am big on organic food and cringe at Walmarts pathetic produce haha. Do you live by any farms? Or farmers markets?

You know the funny thing is I live in Bakersfield ca, which is like the agricultural capital of the u.s lol. There's like nothing around here for fresh produce like real close. I'm kinda scared to go into ethnic stores like Asian or Indian markets I feel like I'd look like an idiot.
